Michael Thomas might have played his last game for the Houston Texans.

The 30-year-old, who is set to become a free agent in March, will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pec, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. He's expected to make a full recovery and be available for the 2021 season.

#Texans DB Michael Thomas has a torn pec and will undergo season-ending surgery, source said. Amazingly, Thomas finished last week’s game after the injury. Veteran leader will be a free agent in March and healthy in plenty of time for camp.

Thomas hasn't had a great season for the Texans, who have won just two games. The 30-year-old has just eight solo tackles on the season after finishing the 2019 campaign with 33.

He hasn't missed a game since the 2017 campaign.

A.J. Moore and Lonnie Johnson figure to pick up some more playing time this weekend against the New England Patriots in Thomas' absence.
